134. 31st October & 1st November 2010 Compagnes Drift Mill. First Open Gardens Weekend

There were two woodworking projects to do at home in the week before Open Gardens. One was to make a cover for half of the hopper of the main elevator, so that the ever larger number of people wishing to climb the stairs to look at the Vitruvian Mill working, have somewhere to stand at the bottom and so that dirt from their shoes doesn’t go into the hopper.

It’s nothing special and it’s not made of Oregon, but it works. It will be nice to cover the other half for when the Mill is not in use. After applying some more Power Putty epoxy to potential leaks in the hopper, the elevator performed perfectly all weekend. It was a little reluctant to throw out at the top at speeds less than 4 RPM on the water wheel, but it still does work at that speed.
